This dive site, Katharinenhof on Fehmarn, is renowned as one of the island's most beautiful and accessible dive spots. Divers can easily navigate around scattered large boulders and dense underwater vegetation. There is no specific history or story provided for the site, but its excellent accessibility, including direct parking and a short walk to the water, contributes to its local popularity.
The site is 'super overgrown' and hosts 'many small animals', making it ideal for macro photography. Divers can expect to find various small fish species typical of the Baltic Sea, along with numerous crustaceans and other invertebrates thriving within the dense aquatic flora, such as different types of seaweed.
The shallow depths of this site make it particularly suitable for photo dives focusing on macro life, as well as being excellent for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers. The best time to visit would generally be during the warmer months (summer) for more comfortable water temperatures. Divers should be prepared for Baltic Sea temperatures and utilize the convenient on-site WC and parking facilities.
